As
InfoWarsreports, NCI updated its page to include various studies revealing how
cannabis “may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth,
and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow” while
also protecting normal, healthy cells.

NCI
stated:

“A
laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and
estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer
cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells. Studies in mouse
models of metastatic breast cancer showed that cannabinoids may lessen the
growth, number, and spread of tumors.”

Cannabinoids
may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth,
and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow.
Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill
cancer cells while protecting normal cells.

Cannabinoids
may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in
reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.

A
laboratory study of delta -9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)
cells showed it damaged or killed the cancer cells.The same study of
delta-9-THC in models of liver cancer showed that it had anti-tumor effects.
Delta-9-THC has been shown to cause these effects by acting on molecules that
may also be found in non-small cell lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells.

A
laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and
estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer
cell death while having little effect on normalbreast cells.
Studies of metastatic breast cancer showed that cannabinoids may lessen the growth,
number, and spread of tumors.

A
laboratory study of cannabidiol in human glioma cells showed that when given
along with chemotherapy, CBD may make chemotherapy more effective and increase
cancer cell death without harming normal cells. Studies showed that CBD
together with delta-9-THC may make chemotherapy such as temozolomide more
effective.

These
studies are considered by the NCI as preclinical. They were all done using
animals. According to them, no clinical trials of cannabis use for the treatment
of cancer in humans have been published.

Delta-9-THC
and other cannabinoids stimulate appetite and can increase food intake.

Cannabinoid
receptors have been studied in the brain, spinal cord, and nerve endings
throughout the body to understand their roles in pain relief.

Cannabinoids
have been studied for anti-inflammatory effects that may play a role in pain
relief.

That’s
not all, in April, the NIDA stated:

“Evidence
from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can
shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors. Research in mice showed
that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killingeffects of the radiation.”

How
can government agencies conclude the above and the FDA still classify marijuana
as a “drug with no medicinal purposes”? Perhaps this video will enlighten you
on the reasons why.
